Great, chilled out hostel! As a solo traveller it is easy to meet people here and there is a nice rooftop area. The rooms are clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Yash who is going to make an awesome full time member of staff! Thanks for a great stay guys :)

The staff were really friendly and helpful here and it is a smaller hostel so it is easy to meet people. There were certainly a couple of interesting characters. The hostel is a decent walk from the bus station (20 to 30 minutes) so if you have lots of luggage catch the 8B or 8C bus from outside the station. It goes straight to the street where the hostel is :)

Quite expensive to stay here and they charge you per day if you want to use a locker too (there are none in the rooms). There is a nice communal area though and the cleaning staff work hard to keep things clean and tidy. It's a very busy place.

Although the owner speaks no English (and I unfortunately don't speak Spanish) he is very sweet an did his best to make me feel at home! I was only in this hostel for one night but the rooms are nice and spacious and had a 'staying at your grandparents' house feel. There weren't many people staying here though so maybe not the best place for a solo traveller to meet others.

There are many hostels that are nice but forgettable and then there are a select few which you have such good experiences at, that you'll never forget! This is one of those few. The facilities aren't perfect (hooks on the back of the shower doors would be useful) but the staff are amazing and the moment you arrive you feel at home. It is a great place to make new friends and it is easy to see why pretty much everyone ends up extending their stay. I look forward to returning one day soon!

The owner of the hostel is so nice and helpful! He goes out of his way to make guests feel at home. The hostel is small and therefore it is easy to meet people. If I return to Alicante I will definitely stay again!

Great location near Kings Cross. Overall there&#39;s nothing to complain about but nothing to really rave about either. It&#39;s a fine base for a few nights. Keep in mind that this place has a lot of narrow stairs so it is a bit awkward if you have a lot of heavy luggage.

This is more a hotel than a hostel in the fact that there are no communal areas and for a shared dorm it is pricey. However, it was a nice place to crash for the night with spacious rooms and clean facilities. The staff were super friendly, especially the guy working at reception throughout the day!

I really enjoyed my time at this hostel and would stay here again. The pool and bar area is a great place to hang out and meet people and the welcome drink on arrival is a nice touch! The dorms are very big and do not have bathrooms but there are power outlets in each of the lockers and the bar closes at 11pm, which means you can either get some sleep or you can either go into town and party.

This was a nice hostel, with good kitchen facilities, a laundry and an outdoor area with hammocks for relaxing and space for socializing. The communal dinner we had was a highlight. If I returned to Liberia I would stay here again.

I only stayed here one night but that was long enough. It seemed more like a place people come and stay long term than a hostel, it was a bit strange. There was not a lot of atmosphere and there was only wifi in the cafe and on the top floor of the building. On the plus side, the rooms were quite spacious and the soap, cup and towel on your bed when you arrive is a nice touch.

Had a great stay here. There are good nightly events and communal areas to meet people if you are travelling solo - the limo night is great! Would be nice if there were a couple more bathrooms, 1 shower in a 10 bed dorm isn't much.

This was the second time I have stayed here. The rooms are big and clean, it is an easy place to meet people if you are travelling solo, the breakfast and the free taco nights are great and the live band / karaoke night is a lot of fun.

The rooms/facilities here are great! They have nice bathrooms and kitchens which is very handy,and the internet is good with a lot of free computers available for use. Overall I thought it was a nice place and I'd stay again.

This hostel has a great atmosphere and fantastic, friendly staff! There is a nice rooftop area and other communal spaces which make it very easy to chill out and meet other travelers. The free breakfast, tea and hookah is also a plus and the dinner and party on Saturday night is well worth attending!

Although i prefer to stay in smaller hostels, this has nice communal areas, was clean and in a very central location. The only small annoyances i had were that there is nowhere private to get changed when having a shower (other than inside of it) and a lot of the power sockets did not work.

This hostel is brilliant. The staff are all super friendly, laid back and helpful and will make you feel at home right away! As a solo traveller it is a great place to meet people and there is a nice lounge and balcony where you can socialise and relax. I wish i could have stayed here longer and hope to return someday soon. Thanks for everything guys!

I definitely recommend this hostel! Luka and the staff are all lovely, the location is good and the outdoor kitchen is great for the summer. Having a fridge each dorm is also a great touch! Thanks for a nice stay

This is a nice hostel with great facilities such as the pool, the outdoor area (good for socialising with other travellers) and the two large kitchens. Although it is quite far from the town, the transfers to and from the ferry and also to the beach make up for this. I had a great stay!

This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. The staff are friendly and will make you feel right at home as soon as you arrive as well as showing you a great night out! Being a smaller hostel it has a homely feel and it is a great place to meet new friends and relax after your long night. I definitely recommend it!

Nice hostel with a good location and huge communal areas! Shame there didn't seem to be many people around to make use of them but I'm sure that particularly in the summer this would be a great place to stay.

Although I was a bit apprehensive about the location of the hostel when I was walking from the bus stop (from the given directions it seems like it is in the middle of nowhere!) I had nothing to worry about as it was a good hostel. in walking distance to the Reeperbahn and habour. The staff were nice and as a solo traveller it seemed easy to meet people here.

The hostel had great communal areas, the staff were really nice and the free inclusions such as the walking tour and bbq were good. They do however need more power outlets in the rooms, one is not enough for a 10 person dorm. Overall I would say it was a good hostel but nothing to rave about.

If it is a party you are after then this is a good place to stay! As a solo traveller it was easy to meet people at The Yellow and there was good, cheap food and drink available from the bar. The rooms were decent however there was no air conditioning so it was far too hot and extremely difficult to sleep at night!

Glad to here you enjoyed your stay and found the other guests to be friendly. Yes we are a party hostel and we certainly pride ourselves on our reputation. I do apologize that the heat was uncomfortable. Unfortunately due to the hot Roman summers the rooms do get quite warm. We do offer air conditioning in our private and ensuite rooms as stated on our website and I would recommend you book one of them on your next visit. Thank you for comments, we hope to see you again in the future!

If you are travelling to Naples do not stay anywhere else! Giovanni treats everyone like a good friend and it truely feels as though you are staying in his home rather than a hostel. He is extremely kind and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great time in the city, giving you all the advice and info you need. You may even be get to try one of his home cooked pasta dishes if you are lucky! Thanks for everything Giovanni (including the motorbike ride!), I definitely hope to return!
